GETTING VALUE FROM THE LEVY

Larger employers have been paying the Apprenticeship Levy since April 2017. If your company is not already engaged in a programme to spend these funds, now is the time to take action. The only way to see any value from this additional cost is to spend those funds on developing your people with a Registered Training Provider.

More control for you

The Government reforms to Apprenticeships launched in April 2017 intend to improve the quality of apprenticeships, and the subsequent uptake from employers by giving you more control over designing, choosing and paying for apprenticeship training.

This is where we step in to help – we can make the flexibility of the new qualifications work for your business by understanding your training and development goals and aligning them with the most suitable fundable standard.

In other words, rather than thinking up creative ways to spend your Levy credits, we can put a bespoke programme together that meets all of your training needs whilst using the Levy to fund it.

We can also incorporate any existing training elements you already have – ensuring we utilise and align all of your best practice with our industry knowledge and training expertise, creating a hybrid training programme designed specifically for your business that aims to increase productivity and improve output.

Apprenticeship Levy Funding

The funding credits that you will build through the Levy can be used for any learning and development provided it sits within an Apprenticeship Standard. As we are a certified Training Provider under the Register of Apprenticeship Training Providers Scheme (ROATP) we are accredited to provide bespoke approved qualifications standards to Levy paying employers in the supply chain and logistics sector.

Making the most of your Levy

The services offered by Bis Henderson Academy have been designed to help you and your business get the very best value from the Levy. Whether you need a 52 or 78 week long learning plan for established team members who you’d like to see achieve particular qualifications or on the job development for new recruits who are part of an apprenticeship programme, we can help.

Why choose us to deliver
your training programme?

Engaged employees

Gaining buy-in from your employees can often make or break the success of the programme. We engage, enthuse and empower employees using a number of tried and tested techniques that can quickly capture imagination; turning reservations before the programme starts into ‘training envy’ from those not yet involved.

Flexibility in delivery

We firmly believe that one size does not fit all, that’s why we ensure that our programmes are completely flexible to maximise programme efficiency and create as little disruption to productivity as possible. Not only can we flex our delivery according to level and content, we can accommodate your team’s shift patterns and business-specific peak periods.

Individuals matter

We can incorporate specialist courses and training into the broader core programmes, ensuring all specific requirements are covered off whilst helping each learner to develop their particular mix of skills and knowledge. This should provide focus on areas in which both the business as a whole and the individual learner know they need to improve most.

A real world approach

We see things from an industry perspective, and develop each client’s programme based on the commercial direction of their business. Our focus is not education for the sake of it, but learning that creates value. We don’t believe in treating learners like school-leavers in an educational setting – instead we respect their existing skills and knowledge and help close their skills gaps.

Bespoke programmes

We understand staff members who have been in their position for a long time might not always welcome chance to supplement their skills, however we can bespoke material to suit all types of learning styles and experience, including skills enhancement programmes to help individuals lacking in confidence to reach the levels they are truly capable of.

Experience you can rely on

Our Group business has a long established track record in the supply chain and logistics industry. Working in this market for over 30 years, we have a wealth of knowledge and expertise – which means we bring unique and specialist insights to the programmes we design for our clients. By harnessing the Group’s strength, we ensure agility and survival in an ever-changing landscape.
